Constitutional TsJest*

There it. nothing that floats nun sooner into the tide of reputation or oftener puses current for geoius, ihaa might be icitHerl constitutional talent. A man withodt thw whatever may be his worth or real powers, will no more get on in this world than a leaden mercury will fly in the«air as any pretender with it. and with no one quality to recommend him, will be sore el ther to blunder on success, or will set failure at defiance. By consutaliooal talent I mean in general, the warmth, and vigor given to a man's ideas and pursuits by his bodily stamina, by merft physical organization. A weak mind ins sound body is better. or at least more profitable* &an a sound mind in a week and crazy conformation.— How many instances might I quote, Let a man have a quick circulation, a good digestion, the bulk, and thews, and sinews of a man. and the alacrity, the unthinking confid^hce inspired by theses and without an atom, a shadow of the mem divinor. he shall strut and swagger and vapor and jostle his way through li'fe. and have the upper hand ot those whi» art bis betters in very thing but health and strength

His jests will be echoed with load laughter, because his own lungs begin to crow like a chanticleer before he has uttered them, while a little hectic humorist shill stammer an admirable conceit that is damned the doubtful delivery— vox faucibns haesil. The first shall tell a story as long, as his arm without interruption, while the latter stops short in hia attempts, from mere weakness of the chest the one shall be empty and noisy, and sGccessful in argument' putting forth the most common place things 'with a confidant brow and a throng of words, that come with more than impudent sauciness from him," while the latter shrinks from an observation "too deep for his hearers," into the delicacy and unnoticed retirement of his own miud.— HazUit.

Washington papers announce tfie "death of Lund Washington, at the advanced age of eighty Six years. He *vas for a long limo employed as a olerk »n the treasury departmeot and ten years ago was well kn«m-n about the capitol sis a reporter of the Globe. He was a Virginian born, but for more than half a^century lift had resided in the city of Washington. He was a thorough uncompromising democrat and of course an ardent lover of Gen Jackson. His integrity was above reproach, and ho exhibited that sturdy kind of independence in his intercourse with the world, which every body professes to admire and very few imitate.— The. is a story told of him that will bear repetition here, as illustrating that trait in his character, and at the same limo it shows the relations which subsisted between Gen. Jackson and himself—one the chief magistrate of the nation, and the other cl»rk in a department, dependent for his bread upon the favor of the executive:

Sickness in poor Washington's family had so trenched upon his means ihat he was constrained to incur some debts, which he relied upon his limited salary to discharge.

One of hiicredtofs, impatient and incensed L0inle(,g

at rtd( being able to obtain payment, com plained to Gen. Jackson who often undertook to regulato the private affairs of his friends, as well as those of the nation, sent lor Wttshington, and asked him why the he didn't p«y the man hi* money. Lund replied that lie intended 0» do so «s soon as possible that his salary was.small, that he had been subjected to heavy expenses by reason of sickness in his family and that his creditors muiii wait until he could sive enough to pay him. 'But I tell you/ said the 'general, 'you must pay him right off'' •I can't and I won't,' replied Washington. •You shall by the Internal!' retorted Old Hickory, 'and* I'll lend you th« money.'— And he did—or rather made him a present of th* amount, which was something over a hundred dollars. t'

Havana Ladies IIiding

Fuller, of the New York Mirror, yrites from Havana Feb, «d, the following description of the Indies in that ciiy:f

Mr. George Peabody, formerly of Boston, but now of London, is likely to be in good repute with the reading men of the next, generation in that pretty New England village, Danvers. It will be remembered that he gave some twenty thousand dollars to that-town for the porposo of establishing a free library—the' very thoughts of whioh enabled tham to think of our new Aalor Library without ill-nature. But for f^ar that his, appreciation would go to (he erection of ai Costly building, at the expense of the books to furnr^h it, the donation was made only on condition that not more than se?en thousand dollars should be devoted to the purchase of a site and the erection of a building. It takes, however, ten thousand dollars to furnish such accommodations as the trustees think would be worthy of t£emselves and their benefactor. And so they wrote to Mr. Peabody. This drew, by a late steamer, a draft Tor §40,000, and the trustees are empowered with that sufficient sum to go ahead. It would take, a good deal lo convince us that Mr. Peabody is not a gentleman and a scholar.—N. Times*.*.

A case occurred many years iigo in Philadelphia court, where a pretty young widow was in danger of losing two thirds of her husband's estate his -relatives grounding their claifn on the alleged insanity of the defunct. It may be well to premise that the presiding judge was not only gonvival but also very gallant SI 'What were your husband's last words!' inquired the attorney.

The pretty young widow blushed, and looking down replied,,'1 had rather not tell.' 'But indaed you must ma'am. Your claim may be decided by it.'

Still blushing, the widow declined to tell. At last a direct appeal from the benclrelicited the information. 'He said, 'Kiss me Polly, ana open that other bottle of champaigne!''

We know not whether it was admiration for the deceased husband or the livigg wife that inspired the Judge at this instant, but he at once cried out with all the enthusiasm of conviction, Blackslone! .1 ffi:

A young man who was about to be married, presented himself to the priest for confession.

A Short Sermon for Yoang Men. Text: Owe no man anything.—Keep tut of debt. Avoid it as you would war. pestilence and famine. Shun it as you would the devil. Hate it with a perfect hatred.— Abhor it with an entire and absolute abhorrence Dig potatoes, break stones, peddle in tin ware, do anything that is honest and useful, rather than run in debt. As you value comfort quiet, independence, keep out of debt. As you value good digestion, a healthy appetite, a placid temper, a smooth pillow, pleasant dreams, and happy walkings, keep out of di bt.^ Debt is the hardest of all taskmasters, the most cruel of all oppressors. It is a mill stone about the neck. It is an incubus on the heart. It spreads a cloud over the whole firmament of- man's being.
